Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Do you know which plugins are used on pages where you miss the sound?

You have Adobe Flash and WMP, so websites that use a player like QuickTime or Real Media Player won't work.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
